Robert Bly's "Sleepers Joining Hands": Shadow and Self

Wrist actigraph versus self-report in normal sleepers: sleep schedule adherence and self-report validity.

This study compared the accuracy of reporting adherence to sleep instructions in participants who were informed that adherence would be verified with an actigraph (aware group) to participants not informed the actigraph would be used to assess adherence (unaware of group). Participants were college students (N = 68), who were screened for psychiatric or sleep disorders or extremes in circadian ...

His recuperation was aided by the support of communities in both Morocco and Qatar.

Shadow Bounds for Self-Dual Codes

Conway and Sloane have previously given an upper bound on the minimum distance of a singly-even self-dual binary code, using the concept of the shadow of a self-dual code. We improve their bound, finding that the minimum distance of a selfdual binary code of length n is at most 4bn=24c+4, except when nmod24 = 22 , when the bound is 4bn=24c + 6. We also show that a code of length a multiple of 2...
